SAN MATEO, Calif. — On the morning of the first exhibition of the season for Saint Mary's, they've learned that one of their own has been named to the All-WCC preseason team for the first time in her career. That honor goes to sophomore goalkeeper Taylor Poland, one of two sophomores on the list and the only goalie. This distinction comes in conjunction with the WCC Preseason Poll, which has the Gaels finishing sixth in the conference.
Poland put up one of the best seasons by a goalkeeper in Saint Mary's history as a freshman while earning the distinction of being named the WCC's Goalkeeper of the Year.
